Chapter 6: A Distant Wish

In his previous life, Li Ge's background was completely the opposite of his current one, to the point where they could be considered two extremes.

He was not a humble villager like the original protagonist, but rather a young master born into a wealthy family, with a golden spoon in his mouth.

However, Li Ge was not a second-generation rich, but a third-generation rich.

His grandfather was once a tycoon who had been the richest man, starting from scratch and fighting for decades, eventually successfully predicting the direction of the times, grasping business opportunities, and surpassing countless competitors.

Born into such a family, Li Ge should have been the envy and jealousy of many.

However, fate played a cruel joke on Li Ge.

Because, Li Ge was not a second-generation rich.

The second-generation rich was his biological father, a spoiled son of the richest family, who had become a playboy due to his upbringing.

He was not only uneducated but also spent his days in debauchery, bullying and oppressing others with his family background, embodying the typical villainous young master in most urban novels.

Li Ge was not a child born out of his father's willing marriage, but rather a result of his father's debauchery, which led to his biological mother finding him and, under the forced command of Li Ge's grandfather, reluctantly marrying him.

Under such circumstances, it was predictable how Li Ge would be treated after his birth.

From as far back as Li Ge could remember, his biological father hardly ever returned home, treating him as if he didn't exist. His life before marriage and after marriage remained unchanged.

Li Ge's biological mother was no better.

She had approached Li Ge's father with the intention of becoming a wealthy lady.

After achieving her goal, she lived the life of a wealthy lady she had always dreamed of, living separately from her husband and indulging in her own pleasures, reportedly even more debauched than her nominal husband.

Thus, Li Ge's childhood could be said to have been spent in a state of near parental abandonment.

As for Li Ge's grandfather, unlike his parents, he did not treat Li Ge as if he didn't exist.

However, perhaps due to his complete disappointment in his son, the grandfather's education of Li Ge was extremely strict, making Li Ge, from as far back as he could remember, remember the most the knowledge from various textbooks, tutoring books, upper-class etiquette courses, and financial enlightenment.

Li Ge's childhood was spent this way.

Fortunately, Li Ge had an outstanding memory, even to the point of being exceptionally superlative. Although he couldn't be called a photographic memory, as long as he was willing to put in the effort to remember and memorize, he could quickly remember all kinds of knowledge, whether or not he understood it, which made his academic performance excellent and pleased his grandfather.

However, because of his outstanding memory, Li Ge clearly remembered many things from his childhood to the present.

For example, when he was 6 years old, he was kidnapped and almost killed by the kidnappers.

For example, when he was 12 years old, he was in a car accident, and the driver, seeing that he was not dead, almost went mad and tried to finish him off.

For example, when he was 18 years old, his relatives smiled and blessed him at his coming-of-age ceremony, but the wine they offered him was found to contain trace amounts of poison.

And so on.

These events, which ordinary people would never encounter, which should have happened in TV dramas or novels, made Li Ge almost unable to believe that they were real, yet they repeatedly appeared in his life.

Gradually, Li Ge became numb and accustomed to it.

He became numb to the fact that people occasionally tried to harm him.

He became accustomed to having to check his food for poison every time he ate.

Even when his grandfather arranged a marriage for him, making him marry a woman who was nearly a hundred pounds heavier than him, Li Ge did not express any opinion.

However, from that point on, Li Ge began to seek all kinds of extreme thrills.

Rock climbing, parkour, bungee jumping, surfing, extreme off-road driving, extreme water skiing, extreme roller skating, skydiving, paragliding, and more. As long as it was extremely thrilling, Li Ge did it, even surviving in the wild in a forest, as if he had been stimulated.

It was during this process that Li Ge accidentally obtained the dimensional cube and was transported to a world of swords and magic.

Now, reflecting on this life, what rose in Li Ge's heart was not anything else, but intense anger.

"What did I gain in this life?"

"What did I pursue in this life?"

"Nothing!"

Everything in the past was not what he wished for.

Everything in this life was not what he desired.

In the end, Li Ge's previous life, like the memories he was recalling now, was a life of nothing gained.

The anger in his heart was not directed at others, but at himself.

At this self who seemed to have everything but actually had nothing.

"Since that's the case, let's just discard the past!"

Since he had left the original world and had an incredible encounter, this time, he must live for himself.

"I must run towards the direction I want!"

"I must pursue the things I want!"

"If I can't, I will never stop!"

The numbness of his past life ends here.

In this life, even if he exhausts all his efforts, he must move forward, reaching out towards that distant wish.

As Li Ge made this vow in his heart, he suddenly felt something.

Behind him, the finger that had been continuously sliding, carving something, stopped its movement.

"Can't be?"

Loki's voice, which had been distant, now sounded as if he was surprised, muttering to himself.

Li Ge immediately broke free from the painful memories and asked in confusion.

"What's wrong?"

However, this question did not elicit any response.

Loki remained silent, the silence making Li Ge frown.

"Hehehehehe!"

After a while, Loki laughed, and the laughter grew louder and more excited.

When Li Ge couldn't help but turn around to look at Loki, Loki was already standing up, dancing around.

"Found a treasure! Found a treasure!"

Loki, one of the strongest deities of the Loki Family, seemed to have suddenly gone mad, dancing and laughing to the sky.

"The last time was Fen, this time it's Li Ge. My luck has indeed improved since descending to the lower world. After a long time, I managed to catch someone on the street, and I got the best draw. Damn Freya, how will you compete with me now, hahaha!"

Loki was so excited that he lost himself, his mad words making Li Ge take a step back.

"What's going on?"

Li Ge could only mutter helplessly.

"Hehehehehe"

After a long time, Loki seemed to have gone mad enough, approaching Li Ge with a mischievous smile.

Seeing this, Li Ge instinctively wanted to put on his clothes.

"Don't!" Loki quickly stopped him, his excitement impossible to hide, smiling and saying, "I haven't shown you the imprint of your abilities yet!"

Saying this, Loki pulled out a piece of parchment from somewhere, his eyes, which had been squinted, now wide open.

Inside, divine will, which even Li Ge couldn't understand, was flowing.

"Take a good look at the blessings you have received, boy." Loki said with a smile, "Don't blink, okay?"

Loki then stuck the parchment to Li Ge's back, swirled his finger, and imprinted the abilities on Li Ge's back.

Taking this opportunity, Li Ge turned around, facing a mirror in the corner of the divine room.

The next second, Li Ge saw the appearance of his back.

He saw that his originally smooth back now had a carving that looked like both a stone tablet and a crest.

The carving was similar to the flag of the Loki Family, featuring a jester.

This was the proof of the divine blessing Li Ge had received, as well as the proof that he had become a member of the Loki Family, a child of the God of Mischief.

"Done!"

Loki completed his work, writing down the abilities imprinted from Li Ge's back on the parchment and happily handing it to him.

Li Ge took the parchment and read it.

This was the content on the parchment, the true face of the abilities imprinted on Li Ge's back.

The sacred text, originally depicted as a jester and incomprehensible to mortals, had been transformed into a common language by Loki's imprint.

Li Ge looked at the content on the parchment and muttered.

"One magic and three skills?"

He had awakened one magic and three skills.

"Happy, boy?"

Loki patted Li Ge's shoulder, laughing more and more wildly.

There was no way around it.

"Ordinary people might not even have one magic or skill, but you awakened four as soon as you received the blessing."

That's why Loki was so happy.

Because she had truly found a treasure.

A huge treasure.
